There is a coverage on most homeowners policies that is called "Pysical Damage to Property of Others". So, since you neighbor caused physical damage to your property, this would be the logical place to start. If this is not available, then the Liability coverage [portion of his policy would cover the damage.
It should, but you need to check your policy. It may be cheaper just to replace it yourself.
Depends on the cause. Typically settling and sink hole is not covered under a homeowners policy.
No. It's considered wear & tear.
Settlement cracks and cracks from ground shifting are not covered.
No, Homeowners insurance does not cover the cost of property maintenance.
Not Likely, Home Owners insurance piolicies typically exclude coverage for concrete structures such as Sidewalks, Patios and Driveways.
Depends on your insurance contract. Some companies would cover that incident, some wouldn't.
Typically, standard homeowners insurance policies do not cover damage to a foundation caused by earthquakes. You would need to purchase a separate earthquake insurance policy or rider to have coverage for this type of damage.
Generally speaking...no. It all depends on the cause of loss.
My sister recently had a cracked slab. Her insurance did not cover it, but the builder's insurance did. Builder's insurance is usually 10 years, so I guess it would depend on the age of your home. I would also find out the cause of the crack and weather or not there is product liability insurance involved. There are numerous variables that can cause a liability situation to an insurance company or insured. I would call a contractor to find out the cause of the crack. http://www.fhia.com
It depends on the specific perils and exclusions of your policy. But generally speaking most insurance policies exclude any damaged caused by settling or earth movement.
Most Home Insurance Policies do not provide coverage for cracked or broken concrete structures such as sidewalks, patios and driveways as this is considered normal wear and tear. You should contact your Insurance Agent for clarification.
